From swithering between the different aspects of independent-minded mainstream, prismatic and pristine pop with ease and no hesitation, CHIZI (Chizitelu Ibemesi) who was born in Leeds to Nigerian parents has had no problem establishing her own soprano voice and presence onto the music scene; while navigating her own path as an independent artist within the industry as a singer-songwriter and producer in her own right.
She started writing songs from the age of 13 years old. Her sound as an artist is born out of a mixture of bubble gum, electro/dance pop, feel-good anthems, infectious, catchy melodies and spicy harmonies with a hint of R&B flavours; smothered in tasty, strong and well done electronic production. These influences come from other artists that she looks up to such as Charli XCX, Ariana Grande, Dua Lipa, BANKS, Carly Rae Jepsen, Rina Sawayama, Rihanna and many more. CHIZI’s music reaches people no matter who they are, how old and where they come from.
Her music is a soundtrack that creates belonging and identity for anyone that wants to have fun, think, dance and vibe making her pop’s newest princess. Furthermore, while wanting to push musical boundaries by making pop music that is innovative and stands out from the mainstream saturated crowd. She wants to make people happy, inspire and show that anyone can do whatever they want to do, even when they are faced with no’s or are told that they can’t for whatever reason.

You can stream 'Drive' through this link: https://linktr.ee/chiziibemesi I’m so happy this song is out in the world! Drive is an anthemic song about empowerment, wanting to get away from your problems and eventually resolving them. It touches on the theme of mental health. It represents a journey metaphorically of trying to get from one place to another mentally. This can range from feeling stuck and reminiscing on how you used to be as
- My Single 'Bad Habit' Is Out Now!This is my new single 'Bad Habit' that is released on all streaming platforms. The song inspired by a relationship between the protagonist and their potential love interest. It explores the themes of obsession and how they are a ‘Bad Habit’ to them. It shows the highs and lows from the protagonist’s perspective and wondering why there is hesitancy from the deuteragonist. This leading to the idea that both individuals could be a good fit together if things work out. The song is produced by Adria
